Denford Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Actually it's Hornby Hobbies: not just Airfix. But didn't know the time, so thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2018 Hornby range is being announced the day before Airfix, what's the betting that Corgi and Scalextic are also on different days,. Seems odd as it's probably the same person who does the lot.

Mr T Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Given the troubled times at Hornby Hobbies I am not holding my breath, I think there might be variations on existing kits and a couple of new kits, obviously including the Venom. Mind you, looking at my stash it will be no bad thing. Edited December 22, 2017 by Martin T Tidying up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 You're not wrong - it's harmless fun, but seems a bit of a waste of electrons to have the two going side-by-side. Think I'll merge 'em once I find the other one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris57 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Well this promises to be a short lived feasibility study, spoilsport, so my 1/24 Lancaster's a non-event. HUH!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First man to suggest something blindingly unrealistic as a "clever jape" will suffer the fate of Admiral Byng, pour encourager les autres. So no Farley Fruitbat then ? I predict... * A re-box of the 1/72 Mustang, with different decals * A re-box of the 1/72 F-86F sabre with different decals * Another marque of spitfire with barely discernable difference s to existing kit * NO 1/72 phantom FGR2 coz they're still trying to shift Navy kits * loads of replies telling me Airfix aren't that mean and I'm being a grumpy old git !

Think I'll merge 'em once I find the other one Also a good way to work off ones frustrations on the seemingly endless 'postponements' of the 2018 announcements. Here's hoping for a 1/72 Avenger (with folding wings) and maybe a Me410. Xtradecal have just issued sheet for it: maybe they know something we don't. That said a while back they issued a Spitfire XlV sheet and so far nothing yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
